Is Peace With Israel Unholy?

“The peace between Israel and
Egypt is no longer holy!” declared
the Secretary General
of the Arab League, Nabil al-Arabi. “It
cannot be considered equal to the holy
Koran and the holy New Testament.”

In effect, the Old Testament of the
Jewish people is unholy in the eyes of
the 75-year-old jurist. The Muslim East
and Christian West are sacrosanct; but
the State of Israel is illegitimate, both
politically and religiously. And that has
repercussions on the 32-year-old peace
treaty between Israel and Egypt.

“The peace agreement with Egypt
is truly in danger,” said top Middle East
expert Ehud Ya’ari on Israel’s Channel
2 television.

About two weeks after al-Arabi’s
comments, thousands of Egyptians
ransacked the Israeli Embassy in Cairo.
And things could get worse.

“The likelihood of an all-out war is
growing,” said Major-General Eyal Eisenberg,
the head of Israel’s Home Front
Command, adding that Israel could be
attacked with weapons of mass destruction.
“After the Arab Spring, we predict
that a winter of radical Islam will arrive.”
